M18 Hellcat

The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer that was produced from July 1943 to October 1944 during World War II. 2,507 were built during this time, and it was the fastest American armored vehicle of the 20th century until the advent of the M1 Abrams in 1980. The Hellcat also had the highest kill-to-loss ratio, being one of the most effective tank destroyers of the war; it was not only deployed in the Italian, European, and Pacific theaters of World War II, but also during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.
